I couldn't find specs on what type of ATSC Tuner card is in it, but I don't have a TV tuner card in my bedroom and don't plan to so if it wouldn't work, no loss. The big question is whether or not it would actually work. Does it require custom drivers? How can you control TV functions such as input and volume? No use for wifi, but would the integrated nic PXE boot and work fine?

The link above is just an example of what appears to be a good deal, but I'm more interested in general answers not necessarily specific to the Averatec.
